"I have to assume" -- you do? Why? The DOJ already signaled it wanted to block this on antitrust grounds almost a year ago. If "regulators" had immediately rejected the deal, there'd be a similar "oh, this will have a chilling effect" complaint because they slapped it down without adequate due diligence. This is one M&A deal out of many. The vast majority -- even some that shouldn't be approved IMO -- sail through or squeak through due to persistence. I just can't find it within myself to feel bad for Adobe in this, since the most likely outcome was to just solidify Adobe's grip on the market and reduce competition. I know quite a few people who use Figma who were absolutely dreading this merger.
